Really, wayne? Seriously? No need for you to be an ass! I have longer experience in all of the practices discussed here than you do, FYI!
Doc Stier,
This is an excellent example that no matter how careful that you may try to put words into your post, you will still end with argument. If you have trained TCMA for many years, you just can't pretend that you are still a beginner.
If you pretend that you
- are a beginner, people will ignore your posts.
- know something, people will say that they don't like to be lectured.
The online discussion is a lose-lose situation. The more that you have said, the more argument that you will get into.
The Taiji system came from the long fist system. The Taiji "single whip" also came from the long fist "二郎担山一条鞭 (Er Lang Dian Shan Er Tiao Bien)".

To keep your arm behind of your body is to "train" how to align your leading arm, leading shoulder, back shoulder, and back arm in a perfect straight line, the most important long fist principle. It's a training method. It's not a combat method.

Steve Rowe wrote:Form has 3 treasures, medical (health), skill learning and boxing (application). To enhance skill learning the combination of techniques is to enhance skill level not just direct application, often entry and exit are different, the same technique is often performed differently in the same and different forms and should be changed slightly with each performance. Often 2 or more techniques are being done at the same time and the body can be split L and R and upper lower to find separate techniques that also often go well together. The complexity is important to train kinaesthesia and co-ordination, otherwise we'd reach a low level skill and never improve.
